hi get an error "insufficent permission for device" when i want to do ADB

i'm login as an adminisrator in ubuntu.

may i know what's the problem?

Do i need to install the ADB drivers?
[Desire Themes and Apps] shoey-n:
I'm sure that's because you haven't got a rule set up for your device, it works similar as a driver in Windows, it tells adb what device your using

http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html

If you follow the steps in step 3 it should work then, I'm sure cgrec92 will make a set up file for people with problems like you :)

cgrec92, for the script to do it, you will need to call sudo su and the user will have to enter their password because the folder needs administrative rights, I'm sure you'll be able to make the script, but if you need help, I'll make the script and rule file you'll need on my phone and send it to you :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
hmm i haven't seen this error before.

i tested it on ubuntu linux with no setup files and it works a treat.

the setup file script can be done in a snap but can you try this:

before launching the app, open a terminal window, type in sudo and enter your password.

close that window and then run the app, does the problem persist?

just making sure as i havent had or heard of this problem.
[Desire Themes and Apps] shoey-n:
I've had the problem before and making that file fixed it for me, so I just suggested it.

Version 3.6 released.

You can now backup/flash new fonts :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Looking for suggestions on what would like to be included on the next release.

Very open to suggestions here so if you have anything then let me know :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
version 3.7 released

added support for android.policy.jar and many improvements/fixes

this will probably be the last release as there is not enough support/interest in the application.

thanks to all those who supported me.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Mystenes:
how many people will buy a mac or install linux to use Your app?

i'm not here to blame You, but You should consider changing platform if You plan to earn some money from your app.

http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp

p.s. i will install ubuntu in my win7, just to try this app. if it will be as good as i read here, i will donate
[Desire Themes and Apps] shoey-n:
There's a Windows version if you would like to try it out

It's in RC1, just search the desire theme and apps thread
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
i understand completely what you mean.

i would make a windows port if it wasn't for the fact that linux offers so many more features which make the app so useful.

windows users could also install cygwin which would allow you to run linux scripts on a mac :)

i hope you like the app, i look forward to any replies as i love working on this :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
version 4.0 soon to be released.

completely re-built into one portable file :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Darnat:
Hi,

thanks for the tool.

I am a Mac user and happy, that you want to continue the development :-)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Darnat:
Hi,

I've created a new framework-res.apk containing the Fightspit's Super Circle Battery modifications.

It seems, that my Mac is not seeing my device. What else do I have to install to get my framework-res.apk to my device?

BTW my device has not been rooted.
[Desire Themes and Apps] shoey-n:
Have you enabled usb debugging in settings ?

Also, you need to be rooted for this
[Desire Themes and Apps] Darnat:
My device isn't rooted.

Seems I have to create an update.zip to get the file onto my device.
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Thanks very much for the feedback, it's comments like that that make me work! :D

Unfortunately you need to be rooted in order to flash files to your device.

The application will allow you to directly flash the file you want.

If for you it does not work for whatever reason the app also allows you to sign the file into a flashable zip.

You can then use adb push to push it to your sdcard, then reboot into recovery and flash it from there.

I am certain however that you need to be rooted in order to do so.

You can keep your ROM and settings but root your phone by using Unrevoked 3.
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Version 4.0 released!

Very big changes - would recommend to download.

Am very happy about fixing the Linux drag and drop issue :)

All feedback/criticisms/suggestions are very welcome as they keep me busy :)

Thanks for all your support!
[Desire Themes and Apps] noble8:
Well this is pretty awesome, Thank you :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Thanks :D

If you have ANY problems please let me know :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
I have tested version 4.0 on Mac and it is completely bug free.

I am working on a completely bug-free Linux release.

Currently the only bugs left which I have found on Linux is ADB not being set up correctly for some users.

And a basename bug for deodexing and signing ROMs from a folder. - FIXED.

I am working on the final ADB bug.

Version 4.1 will be completely tested and working on both Mac and Linux :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Darnat:
Hi,

I have two questions concerning the framework-res.apk:

1. The original file has a size of 7,3MByte. The decompiled/compiled version has only 3.7MByte. Why has the size decreased? Are there any restriction in usage?

2. I have used the "sign" functionality. The created zip looks different compared to other update.zip file. Can I use the signed version in the same way as the update.zip can be used?

I don't want to root my I9000, therefore I use the update.zip mechanism which is working fine for me. I have heard that a faulty update.zip can brick my device. Therefore I am asking before trying :-)

Thanks in advance :-)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
You are using the I9000? that is a Samsung omnia if I'm not mistaken? this app is only for the HTC desire.

I hope this has answered your question.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Darnat:
The I9000 is the Galaxy S :)

But nevertheless the decompile and compile option for the framework-res.apk is working.

The only thing about it is the strange shrink in size.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Scirwode:
Let me first say thank you for this great app, it's been working fine for me in VMWare (Snow Leopard) and I've already managed to flash my own Boot Animation and fonts. That said, I've been wondering about something. Right now, you are able to package files into a folder to make a Rom or an Update.zip. This is useful for when trying to replace the framework_res.apk with a different version. I've been having trouble with this at the moment, not because of the application but because of the file itself which is incompatible (MDPI vs. HDPI). But that gave me a thought, would it be possible to change the file or files inside the APK? This would be useful when you would like to change an icon of the APK (even though you have to change it again if it updates). It's just a suggestion, as I don't even know if it's possible.

Again, keep up the good work and thanks again for a great app!
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Thanks for the comment.

So what you want to do is open up an APK file and change some of the icons inside it?

If so this is done very easily.

Just locate/extract the file.

Then decompile the file.

The APK will be opened up in your work directory (just press v to view it).

Inside that folder in the RES/HDPI folder there are all of the icons, you can just change what you want.

Then press compile APK and it will rebuilt it into the file.

You can then directly flash the file to your phone or sign it into an update.zip.

Hope this answered your question :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Version 4.1 soon to be released.

Menus completely re-worked

Scripts are now centred - everything looks really nice :)

Fixed a small bug when specifying the location where to copy files from your device.

Fixed ALL Linux bugs - no bugs found when testing now on both Mac/Linux.

Also going to add a generic apk/jar modifier and a mod repository for ease of use to common mods.

If anyone has any suggestions/feedback/requests do let me know as it is very likely i can do them :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] Scirwode:
I was just going to ask on how to decompile an apk, but since you're doing it already, I keep quiet :D . Can't wait to edit all the icons for my roms, I hate it when everything looks so cluttered :( .

Scirwode
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
What do you mean how to decompile an APK? There's already the option to decompile it, then you can go into the folder and edit all the icons :) and then re-compile it. Or do you mean that you want to be able to decompile any APK/JAR? Hopefully i'll have that done by today or tomorrow :)

I think you'll all like version 4.1 :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Scirwode:
Your second point :) .

Scirwode
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Version 4.1 soon to be released.

Massive updates, expect a huge change-log :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Version 4.1 now released.

Changelog in 1st post.

Please feel free to report any bugs/suggestions :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
For the next release I will try to add the options of:

Signing ANY apk/jar file.

Backup SDCARD/apps etc to your computer.

Start ADB shell.

Remotely dial/text from your computer to your phone.

If anyone has any suggestions please tell me and i'll do my best to add them :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
I am off on holiday for 1 week tomorrow.

So please everyone post ANY bugs/suggestions for me to see when I get back.

Let's face it this is a very quiet thread.. so if anyone wants anything then please do let me know :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] gromain:
Hey!

I got a problem with this script when working in linux.

I can't compile a framework-re.apk (and I have a lot of warnings when not runnning ThemePro in root).

I got this error message:

Compiling framework-res.apk...

mv: cannot stat `./WorkDirectory/framework-res/framework-res/framework-res.zip': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `./WorkDirectory/framework-res/framework-res': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access `./WorkDirectory/framework-res/framework-res.apk': No such file or directory

FAILURE.

Where's the problem? What can I do to resolve it?

Thanks for your help! (I hope you're enjoying your holidays!)

Edit:

Forget what I said, it's working when I launch it directly in root mode. Very strange though...
[Desire Themes and Apps] Scirwode:
I've been creating a set of icons for my rom based on iDroid and so far I've got quite a few done. However, there are some programs, no matter what I do, when I replaced the icon and flash it to my computer I can't install it. Most of these are paid apps so I guess there must be some different code that prevents me from doing it.

Any idea on how I could go on and still flash my icon without coming up with an error?

Scirwode
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Hi all i'm back from my holiday :)

I see from the comments for some Linux users there is a permission error - i have already fixed this for the next release :)

Any other requirements/suggestions/feedback for the next release because i'm pretty stumped as to what to include next :)

Thanks for everyone's support :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Crysta:
Hi! Sorry for my english. I have a simple fix for adb permission error. Start your adb server from /etc/rc.local at boot time. After that you can use it in user mode without any problem.

# /etc/rc.local

/<full path to your android-sdk>/tools/adb start-server
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Hi and thanks for your reply, I think I've fixed the problem with a single chmod 777 seeing that this is what I had changed before to stop people from copying and editing it.

However in the next release I have laid out the code in a very user friendly fashion and commented so that beginners can understand what the code is doing. This has taken me a very long time but I hope it encourages others to learn about scripting so that you can make your own improvements and changes to the script.

Of course there are other updates in the next release which I will hopefully release tomorrow, the Rom manager has been completely re worked, you'll see how beneficial this is, o have also created a remote dial which allows you to phone numbers on your phone from your computer, I have also added a backup feature to backup all your apps and pictures to your work directory, along with many other features such as adb logcat etc :-)

As usual all suggestions and feedback is greatly appreciated.
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Coming Soon section added to 1st post.

Please support this thread while I work on it :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Version 4.2 released.

Big changes, sorry for the delay, if you see the new version you can see many changes :)

Changelog is in the 1st post.

I have made the code much more user friendly and put comments around all the complex code so that people can get a feeling as to what the code is doing, i hope that this will encourage people to change and improve parts of the application.

As always, all feedback and comments are very welcome :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
I'm soon going to release version 5.0.

Have made new changes which have impacted the entire script and so most scripts have been completely re-worked.

For example, modifying generic APK and JAR files has now been made extremely easy.

I have included a screenshot which you can see below.

Not only is this new feature used for de-compiling ANY APK and JAR file, but also for re-compiling, flashing, and for managing several ROMs at once.

Let me know what you guys think and any other features you'd like :)

I've also found out how to make the de-odexing script not display all the crap it does usually to make the script much more user friendly :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Scirwode:
That would be brilliant, considering I just spent 2 hours replacing every single icon in a ROM :p .

Scirwode
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Good to hear :)

Uploading now.

Those features are all over the ROM manager and the generic APK/JAR :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Another example of the new code which is to be used.

Also: Uploading v5.0 now :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] noble8:
Now this is awesome ;) Thank you again for another great update.
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Thanks for the great comment! much appreciated! :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Anyone have any feedback/comments on the latest version?

If people think the new feature is useful i can try and use it with ADB.

For example ADB pulling/pushing/installing/deleting several files at once?

Let me know guys :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Alraan:
Hi cgrec92,

Just a question,

I can't zipalign a Rom, the Rom is placed in the ROM folder (obviusly in the WorkDirectory) and when i run the script (Linux) it always tells me "No ROMs found in your Work Directory!"

What i'm doing wrong?

Thanks for your great work
[Desire Themes and Apps] Syntax-Influx:
I really like the new 5.0 version, I hope the problem with fixing on my Mac is fixed ^_^
[Desire Themes and Apps] Syntax-Influx:
YES! It works now, totally AWESOME! Now I don't need a Windows box to sign my Roms ^_^
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
The ROM can not just be placed inside the ROM folder because then if you have more than one ROM in the folder then there will be problems.

This is why I have added the extract ROM to Work Directory which should be the 1st option in ROM manager.

Just drag and drop the zipped ROM into the terminal window and it will extract it properly to your Work Directory.

I have tested your problem and it can not be re-created using the extract ROM to work directory function.

Let me know how this goes for you

PS. Thanks Syntax-Influx for the positive comments! :)

I am working on using the same functionality for the ADB features, below is a screenshot, I have already got it working for copying files from the phone and deleting files on the phone. Let me know what you think :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Version 5.1 released.

Previous new code optimized and added to the ADB services :)

All existing code is optimized so now it's time on adding new features :)

Rom manager could for example add A2SD or show ROM info or root a ROM, backup manager could backup a lot more ;) same as fonts and boot animation/audio.

So yeah, let me know what you'd like added to the next version, very open to suggestions :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Droidxda:
Hi,

I use Kubuntu, and it doesn't work.

when i launch the shell, screen stay black, and brake my term.

any idea
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
No idea, i can't test out the app on every single distro of Linux..

I've tested it on Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint and Mac OS X and it works perfect.
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
OK i've thoroughly tested the new version and this is what i've concluded..

The error reply of SUCCESS/FAILURE for the ADB services is broken, this is because all of the output displayed by ADB I have had hidden to make it more user friendly, unfortunately this means that errors are not seen and so it says SUCCESS no matter what. - I've already fixed this for version 5.2

Another thing I've seen is that if you're ADB pushing/pulling/deleting a lot of files, then it is a very big nuisance having to type the file location for each file if they're all in the same place. So a prompt will be created asking if they are all located in the same place, and then you enter the location once. - I am working on this.

If anyone wants any features or has seen any bugs etc then please let me know as I am working on this. Thanks :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] cgrec92:
Version 5.2 released.

Hi

Love the phone but I did notice that in movies (not hd) that show dark areas or just night times parts you can see blocking affects, I know the higher the bit rate the less this shows but I did read one guy talking about this, he said it was because the 3d card is used for display and at this time it does not read the different shades of black correct and needs fw fix....? he also said he turned his 3d card off and all was fine, he did not say how or any more about this and I cannot find the web page now :-( anyone know of this or way around it or just case of wait for samsung to fix?

Here's the first of many splash screens to come. I will also take requests, I have Photoshop and all the tools to make customs screens.

This one I "borrowed" from 12MaNy's Splash screens (Thanks!) and simply added the HTC EVO 4G logo and used my limited photoshop skills to spice it up ;)

Install is the same as the others...

You need the windows android SDK package, I'll get a link for it soon.

1.) Copy the evosplash1.rgb565 to your android sdk tools folder

2.) Power off phone

3.) Boot up into boot loader (hold vol down while pressing power)

4.) Go to Fastboot with the volume keys and press the power button

5.) Plug device in (You'll see FASTBOOT USB at the top)

6.) Open a command window in windows (Windows key + r, cmd)

7.) Use "cd" to change to your android sdk tools folder (e.g. "cd c:\androidsdk\tools")

8.) Then type the following (without quotes) "fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565" and press enter

9.) Select reboot on the phone with the power button and watch your new splash screen display :)

First one with preview:

DOWNLOAD HERE

Greetings Unknownforce,

Really love your splash screens! :)

I see they are only for Windows users. :(

# fastboot flash splash1 evosplash1.rgb565
sending 'splash1' (750 KB)... OKAY
writing 'splash1'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Will you have any for other OS's?

Thank you for all your time and consideration.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CTH-EVO:
Sorry Unknownforce,

My bad. I rooted with Unrevoked 3.21, which has an HTBOOT that doesn't have

the "extended" fastboot commands available that the ENG bootloader does. So I

changed the HTBOOT, and your wonderful bootscreen adorns my EVO-supersonic.

Thanks for the great looking screens, and sharing them Unknownforce! :)

--Chris
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tgearman:
Now We Need Matching Bootscreen Please

Unknownforce,

Your splash screens are off the hook. Problem is, when my EVO cycles from the splash screen to the boot animation, it's pretty sad. All of the bootscreens I have loaded pale when viewed aside your awesome splash graphics.

The only solution is an Unknownforce custom bootscreen!! :rolleyes: Is there any chance you might be able to put one together that integrates nicely with your cutting edge splash graphics? Pleasssseeeee?:p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chris66:
Just adopted the top one! Very nice, Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tgearman:
Or - if you want to pass me the original image graphic and the title graphic, I will create an animated bootscreen and share it with you.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ifly4vamerica:
Anybody having trouble installing can either get the extended fastboot commands, just search its pretty easy to find, or you can use this method. I didn't figure this out it was done by silentstryder but her ya go.

1) Download Unrevoked Forever's custom splash screen PC36IMG.zip

2) Open the zip and delete the splash1.img

3) Download the custom splash screen you like and rename it: splash1.img

4) put the file in PC36IMG.zip

5) put the Zip on the root of your SD Card.

6) Power Down your phone.

7) Boot your phone into HBOOT (hold down "volume down" and press the power button)

8) Your phone will automatically find the zip and ask if you want to apply it.

9) Press "Volume Up" for yes

10) It will ask to reboot. Press "Volume Up" for yes.

The unrevoked custom splash can be found on their site.

11) your phone reboots, and you see the new Splash Screen.
